Dryer Takes Too Long to Dry

November 9, 2012 by admin

It’s Not Your Dryer it’s Your Dryer Vent

dryer taking longer to dryIf your dryer takes too long to dry your clothes then there is a simple way to determine what the problem is! The dryer believe it or not is a pretty simple appliance it heats up via the heating element then the blower draws the hot air through the drum, over the damp clothes causing the water in clothes to vaporize then pass out through the dryer vent. Now if the dryer is not hot it can be either the element is dead or the thermal fuse has blown. If the thermal fuse has blown then this is safety measure because the dryer has got too hot mainly due to a clogged dryer vent it is normally best to get your dryer vent cleaned before having the thermal fuse replaced otherwise it will likely blow again. If the element has blown then this will need an appliance repair call to be placed.

Signs Your Dryer Vent is Causing Your Dryer To Take Longer To Dry

  1. Your dryer is hot on the outside – this is letting you know the dryer vent is clogged and needs cleaning! The hot damp air and lint is not able to escape outside and is staying longer inside the dryer.
  2. Lots of lint in the laundry room, the house is dusty more than normal
  3. The clothes are hot but still damp, the laundry room may also be humid

Why You Should Get Your Dryer Vent Cleaned to Speed up Drying Times

Dryer vent cleaning is recommended by all dryer manufacturers as it helps the dryer to run efficiently, reduces the risk of fire and is part of the required maintenance to ensure dryer safety. Dryer manufacturers also say that vinyl hose and thin foil hose should not be used to connect the dryer to the wall! Yet why is it the appliance stores still use the thin foil? The reason they are not recommended is because they do not contain a fire should one start in the dryer. Instead the thin foil looking hose (contains plastic) and the vinyl hose burn thus spreading the fire into the wall. In the states there was a there have been class action suits against the big box store for connecting dryers to the wall using thin foil and vinyl transition hose.
